Reviewing the patient’s chart before seeing a patient, you note that the patient recently underwent a Lisfranc amputation. This amputation involves:
1. Amputation of the foot through the tarsometatarsal joint
2. Resection of the third, fourth, and fifth metatarsals and digits
3. The disarticulation of all five metatarsals and the digits
4. None of the above

The solution will be posted in a few days.
